This is only realistic with DANE TLSA (certificate usage 2 or 3),
and thus will start to be realistic for SMTP next year (provided
DNSSEC gets off the ground) with the release of Postfix 2.11, and
with luck also a DANE-capable Exim release.
For HTTPS, there is little indication yet that any of the major
browsers are likely to implement DANE support in the near future.
